Mr Low said paramedics should not be required as wrestling is “scripted performance art” and essentially a “fighting circus”.

David said: “I have spoken to paramedics and doctors about it and they’ve just turned to me and laughed. They don’t think it’s a sport.

“To hire doctors would cost too much anyway. We don’t make enough to be able to afford them.

“They are asking us for things we can’t provide.

“It’s a fighting circus. It’s performance art. It’s not a sport.

“It could put us out of business. We might be able to survive if we put ticket prices up but I don’t want to do that.

“I want to be able to put these events on for families and for them to be affordable.”

This is not a million dollar question…

When the news editor heard I’d once interviewed the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase in the reduced clothing aisle at Asda he knew I was the man to give an opinion on whether wrestling should be classed as sport or entertainment, writes Graeme Strachan.

Put simply, pro wrestling is entertainment – it might be competitive, but it’s part choreography, part improvisation.

There’s an element of acting thrown in as well.

Whisper it – but the two wrestlers in the ring also know who’s supposed to win.

Would you class ballroom dancing as a sport or entertainment?

What isn’t in doubt is the entertainment David Low and Scottish Wrestling Entertainment have given the Tayside public over the years.
